Nothing feeds the center so much as creative work, even humble kinds like cooking and sewing...Baking bread, weaving cloth, putting up preserves, teaching and singing to children...

Sew Ready!

Finished tidying the sewing room over the weekend and realized that even though I call it a sewing room, it is where I store all my crafting supplies. Here's what it looks like...

This small basket is all that I have left to cut and sort. But I "need" to be able to get back in and sew and I wanted everything in its place before I worked on my projects. I did cheat on Saturday morning and finished Block 1 from my Civil War Tribute BOM, but that was because of our monthly meeting. I will post pictures in the future, is anyone else working on this BOM? I mentioned in my last post that at this monthly meeting we have a goodie from the Civil War period, this month we had apple & onions cooked in bacon fat (which was substituted for sausage) is sounds "different" but was tasty. Speaking of food has anyone seen Julie & Julia? I watched it last night, it made me want to go out and find a copy (at the used book store) of Julia's book and see if I can recreate any of the recipies.

Your sewing room/craft storage room is very, very nice! Before we moved I was using the foyer! It was just wasted space and I didn't have a room for sewing, so it became mine. It was very small. I am needing to get busy in my new sewing room, but the outdoors keeps calling me!
